Commentary

Commentary on Revelation 22:6

Theological / Devotional

Faithful and true. A statement of the trustworthiness and genuineness of God’s revelation; the prophecy as given by the angel is authentic.

Of the holy prophets. Textual evidence attests (cf. p. 10) the reading “of the spirits of the prophets.” The “spirits of the prophets” may be regarded as a reference to the prophets’ own spirits under the control of the Holy Spirit when they were in vision. The Holy Spirit illumined John’s spirit as He had the spirits of the OT prophets (see ch. 1:10). The entire Revelation is a testimony to the control of John’s spirit in vision by the Holy Spirit.
